Ben Affleck criticized California's insufficient film tax incentives, which has led to a significant decline in production days. During the premiere of "The Accountant 2," he noted that California's industry had become complacent and compared incentive packages unfavorably to those offered by other states and countries, particularly the UK. FilmLA statistics show a concerning drop in shooting days, exacerbated by issues like wildfires. Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposal to increase support for film incentives, Affleck believes more needs to be done to compete globally.
"Other places will have better exchange rates or tax rebate deals that are meant to lure this industry there because they understand how stimulative it is for the economies."
"I think part of the problem with California is they came to take this industry for granted a little bit."
